Official Xena Magazine: Issue 14
XENA MAGAZINE: As we know, Xena: Warrior Princess is currently taking a break from filming on season six. When do the cast and crew start back, and how much time off do they get over Christmas? Also, do you know when the season will wrap next year?
DAVE PLLISON: Like every season, we have a big break from 25 September until 31 October. Over Christmas, we are off from 14 December until 12 January. We finish shooting season six on 21 March 2001.
Cleopatra 2525 going hourly in the summer must have meant significant changes in the shooting schedule and a heavier workload for the actors and crew. How much of the second season was shot before the series was put on production hiatus?
We shot six one-hour episodes out of 22 before the show was put on indefinite hiatus.
Can you tell us any more about the impending release of the new Xena CD-ROM? When will this be in the shops?
The new Xena CD-ROM is now available for sale via the Davis Panzer catalogue and can be found on page 13. The phone number is: (001) 800 9592480. There is a CD-ROM for Xena and also one for Hercules.
So can you tell us what other Xena and Hercules merchandise we can look forward to seeing in the shops over the Christmas period and beyond?
